had earlier last year governor perry was asked if you got the phone call and told that terrorist in pakistan had gotten ahold of one of the nuclear weapons? i'm not criticizing him for not knowing how to answer the question. the fact that the question was a plausible one i think says, and i don't know how answer it. my first comment would be i want to know more who has it and what we know. trying to prevent that scenario from happening or be able to deal with it if it happens is important and the cost of the country are almost -- if they were able to set it off. it's not -- we always said possibility of a war with the soviet union was a slow probability. but a serious event to plan for. there are other things like that top. so i come back to my point. the american leadership, which includes diplomacy, very definitely is important for maintaining the relatively peaceful, it's all relative. historically relatively peaceful situation we have in critical part of the world and we would be sorry to lose it. once you lost it it takes huge cost and blood and treasure to get back. i'd say the problem
